ABOUT US
“Skateboarding starts with more failures before eventually managing TO ridE down a street or doING a basic trick. Then after giving the process of learning some acceptance and time, eventually improvements are made while realizing, that it’s not a shame to fail, it’s even a bigger mistake to not even try.”
-Daniel Glucke, Empowerment Coach
WHO WE ARE
The Concrete Riders team is made up of individuals who are passionate about skateboarding and dedicated to creating an inclusive skateboarding culture that benefits local communities. A foundation of mateship and a shared love of skateboarding motivates them to pass on the benefits that skateboarding has brought to their own lives through their teaching. They strive to instil a positive impact at a personal and community level—deeply committed to the development and operation of skateboarding programs that give back to their local community.
OUR STORY
Concrete Riders was founded during a time of unexpected twists and turns when the world suddenly halted.
Its creation was driven by a passion for getting youth outside and active, promoting positive social, physical, and mental health benefits through skateboarding, which has become more important than ever.
Since its launch in 2020, the world of skateboarding has expanded, and with its recent entrance to the Olympics, its received legitimate recognition as a global sport and recreational activity. Skateboarding is no longer reduced to an underground subculture but is now widely recognised as a form of creative and artistic expression and a healthy lifestyle.
